Tears Of Soul Riddim – Prolific Records

Released in 2016 on Prolific Records, Tears Of Soul is a roots-conscious juggling that keeps its weight in the lyrics and its pulse in a patient one-drop groove. The instrumental is restrained rather than flashy, with enough bass pressure and skanking guitar movement to leave space for the singers to work the message. It feels like a release made for reflection first, bounce second.

Sizzla opens the set with “Freedom One Wish, ” and he is joined by a strong conscious run from Perfect, Lutan Fyah, Fyah Chief, Janspee, Teflon, G Mac, Rasta Bogle, DJEEYOULION, and One Son, with Sizzla returning on “Freedom Fighter” alongside Masia One and Billi Blade. That mix of voices gives the riddim a wide reach without breaking its mood. The veteran names bring the biggest pull, but the younger and lesser-known cuts help frame the project as a proper juggling rather than a vehicle for one headline act.

The best moments are the ones that match the riddim’s serious tone with direct writing: Lutan Fyah’s “Poverty, ” Teflon’s “Mean Me No Good, ” and Sizzla’s “Freedom Fighter” all push themes of struggle, resilience, and social pressure without sounding forced. Perfect’s “Warrior’s Birthday” adds a more personal uplift, while “Corrupt The World” and “Why We Complain” keep the critique pointed. Prolific Records keeps the production clean and steady throughout, and Tears Of Soul lands as one of those 2016 reggae sets that values message, voice, and timing over studio excess.
